 An increasing number of farmers and scientists believe the
foundational ideas of mainstream agronomy are incomplete and
unsound. Conventional crop production ignores biology in favor of
chemical interventions, leading farmers to buy inputs they don't
need. Fertilizer recommendations keep going up, pest pressure
becomes more intense, pesticide applications are needed more often,
and soil health continues to degrade.

However, innovative growers and researchers are beginning to think

differently about production agriculture systems. They have
developed practices that regenerate soil and plant health and that
deliver much better results than mainstream methods. Using these
principles, growers are able to decrease fertilizer applications,
reduce disease and insect pressure, hold more water in the soil,
improve soil health, and grow crops that are more resilient to
climatic extremes, increasing farm profitability immediately.

As a leading agronomist and teacher, John Kempf has implemented

regenerative agricultural systems on millions of acres across many
different crop types and growing regions with his team at
Advancing Eco Agriculture. In Quality Agriculture, John interviews
a group of growers, consultants, and scientists who describe how to
think and farm differently in order to produce exceptional results in
the field. Their remarkable insights will challenge you, encourage
you, and inspire gratitude and joy for the rewards of working with
natural systems.
